Abstract

Mathematical methods were used to prove the principle of aesthetics. It was pointed out that the least action principle is the fundamental law of harmonious beauty. This chapter establishes a variational equation of the beauty of harmony, with the left side of the equation being the least action principle, which represents energy efficiency and time efficiency, while the right side refers to harmony and beauty, namely the beauty of harmony. The mathematical symbol linking the two sides suggests that physics, philosophy, and aesthetics are unified in a harmonious and organic way. Its beauty lies in the fact that the two sides of the equation are not only symmetric, congruous, orderly, and succinct, but also in the fact that it has a very beautiful look.
